"Couldn't have chosen a better vet. Shannon and the team were genuine, compassionate and amazing during the tough process of looking after and eventually having to put down our dog. Spot on diagnosis and genuinely interested in the best outcome for our dog." - Google review, 24 Sept 16 See more reviews

"A truly excellent and professional service. All the vet staff who have seen Charlie are caring and gentle with him. In addition, they always take time to explain succinctly what they think the problem is and how best to try and solve it. The day after a small operation recently one of the vet nurses called us the next day to see if he was okay and to offer some sound advice. We wouldn’t take Charlie anywhere else". - Facebook review. 8 Feb 2018 See more reviews

News Flash! Paralysis ticks are now being found in Canberra

Pet owners travelling from Canberra to the coast have long been aware of the risks of tick paralysis to their pets. However, recently pets that have not been outside of Canberra have been presenting to vets in Canberra with tick paralysis. We suspect with changing environmental conditions, ticks have managed to take a foothold in native animals in the region and so pets are now at risk without leaving Canberra. As a result, we are now recommending covering your dogs and cats with tick prevention.

​At Belconnen Animal Hospital, we recommend Bravecto for dogs, which lasts for 4 months from a single oral dose against paralysis ticks. For coverage in cats we recommend you come into the practice and discuss the best product for your cat.

How did we do? If you were happy with our service why not spread the love and leave us a review on Facebook or Google+? Think we could do better? Suggestions for improvement are best discussed with staff at the time so we can rectify problems immediately where possible. Otherwise, feel free to call or email us so we can ensure a prompt response.
